NaMo Inspires New Comedy Channel

In a very
harsh criticism of those defending the failed economic policies and actions of
the UPA, R. Jagannathan of
FirstPost slams a defender of the faith called Mihir Sharma of more or less
being blind. It appears Sharma called the UPA critics “unqualified”. Jaggi goes on to write that Sharma blames everything
for UPA failures but the UPA itself with the stinging line “The UPA’s
foolishness, for him, had little to do with it”. Let’s put aside
Jaggi for the moment as an “unqualified” critic. How about someone who loves “Doctoring and nursing the Congress”? I’m quite certain Mihir Sharma doesn’t consider Shekhar Gupta “unqualified” but even
this long-time defender of the Congress has turned harsh. SG slams the Congress
in his article “Current accountability deficit”. Well, as you would expect, SG slams all senior
leaders of the Congress except, yeah you guessed it, except Sonia Gandhi. So
with nothing to defend their failures the Congress now believes the best
defence is targeting their biggest roadblock for 2014. In the process some of
their defenders have become great comedians.

In my posts
I often refer to Mafia ‘Wiseguys’.
They are the foot-soldiers of the mafia who do all the dirty work, also
sometimes known as ‘Goodfellas’. Contrary to what that title may indicate,
these guys aren’t bright or wise but have a weird sense of humour and are
mostly oblivious to their own stupidity. No matter how badly they goof up the
Mafia bosses never kill these wiseguys (except from a rival gang). Even if they
are fondly called by certain numbers they respond positively. Take a look (11
secs):

See what I
mean? You know, the bosses even have numbers for them: Moron No.1, Moron No.2
and so on. The wiseguys don’t realise it or mind it in the least. It’s all love
and affection. The other thing about wiseguys is they are fiercely loyal to the
bosses no matter what. Politics is a lot similar when you consider a bunch of
hate-mongers start off some venture without knowing how to do it. They don’t
even possess the basic skills that the wiseguys possess but they possess all
their stupidity.

This is not
so much about the Congress as a political party but what kind of people they allow
to represent them. On August 22 it seems the party held a national workshop on
Social Media. Apparently almost all their Twitter, FB and Blogging supporters
were there and then some more. Considering the party spokies, like Kapil Sibal
and Manish Tiwari, have often dismissed SM as an anarchic platform which has no
impact on elections the party must have done a U-turn in trying to educate
their foot-soldiers with this workshop. The Congis forget one cardinal rule: “recruit for talent, train for skills”.
Talent cannot be transferred, skills can. No matter how many workshops and
trainings you put some people through they aren’t going to acquire talent they don’t
have. They might, at best, acquire some juggling skills.

Take a look
at Rajdeep Sardesai and his writings.
For a chronic Modi-hater who for over 11 years made Modi his “Roji-Roti” (as
Modi told him) with hate-mongering, even he seems to reluctantly acknowledge
Rahul Gandhi is not the youth’s inspiration. This must be a hard pill for RS to
swallow. But Rajdeep grandly states “In the normal
course, 43-year-old Rahul Gandhi and his youth 'managers' should have been the
natural mascots of this new India, and not a 62-year-old Narendra Modi and his
Sangh Parivar. Rahul is younger, English-speaking, telegenic and tech-friendly.
And yet, as most recent youth surveys suggest, it is Modi who is the preferred
choice of young Indians. Where has Modi succeeded where Rahul has failed in
attracting younger India?” English speaking, telegenic and
tech-friendly? I have to wonder if Rajdeep wants a political leader or another
shrill TV anchor. This is his problem. He thinks all of India wants telegenic,
English speaking guys for inspiration. Nowhere does the word “PERFORMANCE” figure in his entire
article and he suggests youth are looking for quick-fixes. And this
tech-friendly RahulG who addressed the Congress’ SM workshop is nowhere to be
found on it (unless he’s travelling on FB or Twitter incognito). Therefore, it’s
left to his bumbling and comic wiseguys to target Modi.

One would
have thought they would have come out wiser (no pun intended) from the workshop
but the results have been disastrous from the word go. It looks like the
singular objective coming out of this workshop is how to target and tar Narendra Modi. He appears to be their
only fear to an electoral loss and gaining another term for Congress. It seems
11 years of work by the MSM to destroy Modi has failed so a new venture was
called for; a dedicated website. So some ‘Modi-hunters’ got together and
created a site called ‘Pheku.In’. The prime mover seems to be famous Hate-Engineer
Shabnam Hashmi but the supporters
list reads like a whose boo. Here’s what the TOI reported on August 23 (a day
after the workshop) under ‘'Modi haters' to launch website on Friday’:

This
formaldehyde army (they call it “formidable” though) headed by Shabnam Hashmi
created the website with nothing that we haven’t seen in the past many years,
including the period prior to the December 2012 Gujarat election. Mostly lies,
lies and more lies that everyone knows by now. But they made one big change.
They are now telling “stories in pics”
like TheUnrealTimes. One must applaud their attempt at comedy. Remember Congi
Arjun Modhwadia putting up pics of children from UNICEF site as being from
Gujarat? He was caught and had to take down those pics. Now take a look at
Comedy No.1:

So they pick
a pic from Chennai stating sewage water goes into regular water supply and try
to pass it off as one from Gujarat. The morons only forgot one thing; that “social media is the real watchdog” now
and I would be surprised if the Congress workshop didn’t cover that part. When
I saw it first I could tell the red-striped walls are typical in Tamil Nadu and
some parts of the South. The original report is contained in Merinews. (The boss must have
picked up the phone and asked for Moron No.1 I guess). We are lucky, the comedy
didn’t end there. Here’s another one:

In this one
the hate-mongers try to pass off a pic showing children working at a Delhi
stadium (in a state ruled by Congress) from a report in The Guardian, as one from Vibrant Gujarat. I wonder if these
people take others to be idiots like themselves. That looks like a serious
possibility. So why would Congress want such morons to campaign for them? That
mystifies me even more. (I’m sure for this the Boss must have called up and
asked for Moron No.2).

With eggs on
her face (and maybe some others too) Hashmi put out an apology on her Facebook
page. She blames it on her technical team and some low-resolution of pics. So
even the content search is left to the “technical” team? Laughable! I doubt any
technical guy would goof up the way Hashmi & Co have. She calls herself a “social
activist” and if this is how activists conduct themselves in the political
domain you can imagine why she deserves a phone call from the boss. It doesn’t occur to these hate-mongers that
in their quest to tar Modi, they are slandering the state of Gujarat itself
with fake pics and information. Hashmi guarantees there will be more pics
from Gujarat. I think we should be ready for some more comedy shows.Oh yes, on a site titled "Pheku" it is quiet appropriate the comedians use "fake" pics.

When he was
in a good state of mind RahulG did advise his spokies not to talk about Modi
but only question his claims. Looks like the memo didn’t reach the hacktivists
who are bent on making a laughing stock of themselves and therefore the
Congress too. Media channels like NDTV and CNN-IBN have caused their own reputation
irreparable damage by their constant anti-Modi campaign. They have burnt their fingers.
Even Salman Khurshid ended up being called a ‘cockroach’ after he called Modi a ‘frog’. The more they try to lampoon the more they end up looking
like comedians themselves. This is no way to politically combat Modi. But hey,
if Modi is going to inspire comedy shows such as the latest one Hashmi &
Co. produced, I’m not complaining; I gladly welcome it.

Hard hitting article. Thanks Ravijee.You said Moron No. 1, but I will say Chu$ia No. 1. The MSM like Rajdeep, a permanent member of IOS, believes that all the youth of India would hit org$sm by seeing or hearing of Pappu, Barmaid or Priyanoka. Alas, if that was true. The Indian youth know Roti and Ghar is more important. Moron Rajdeep will never understand this as he is paid few dollars every day for guessing it wrong.

It is good that these IOS are now got together. Easy to smoke them out and eliminate them. That will be the final act of this comedy.

In the last TimesNow debate,Praful Patel was crestfallen when confronted with the long list of goofups by the UPA. As expected he found solace in collective responsibility by stating that not only UPA but everyone of us is responsible for the mess. Something that reminded one of the Mumbai Attack season in 2008 when the media shifted responsibily to all the political class and succeeded.The new ploy is to ask the opposition what it would have done to stop the crash of the economy. In a way showing the country that reasons for the slide is beyond anyone's control.As for the Pheku.in comedy website I recommend the same for all MC readers and wish that they enter it as Trojan Horses. This had been the history of #feku a few months back where today people cannot distinguish it from #Pappu.

I have come to a conclusion that Shabnam Hashmi & gang is "Crypto Modi Supporters" :D ;) else why would they indulge in such shoddy,easily detectable acts? Their such shenanigans make congress look BAD & increase the popularity of Modi.Whatever they are, they surely would not be so dumb to put a pic from Delhi as that from Gujarat & not expect to get caught by alert SM or are they so blatant & brazen?

Twice you have written on the subjects that I thought you would - Superstition & Pheku.inThank you

After the cottage industry (NDTV, CNN-IBN & co) whose sole bread and butter source was Modi-Bashing, fell by wayside, a new (photo)shop being setting up. Policy is - til the time we finish our photoshop, we will pass pictures from Chennai or Delhi :-)

These "wiseguys" are actually helping the cause with their bigotry. The more they resort to such foolish lies, the more they damage their own and UPA's reputation, bringing more and more followers for NaMo. We must actually hank them for this and encourage them to keep it up.

The Shabnam hashmi and company should be worried about these pics too, not only if they come from Gujrat.. She only apologized for her 'technical' teams mistake. It seems they only want to expose some party or person, regardless of the condition of people whom they want to represent. What is more compelling is that these idiots don't say a word about the states from which they got these pics.

The funny thing is if the pics were from delhi where child labor was used by delhi govt, then Mr.Hashmi should sanctimoniously discuss that and shame the delhi govt. His silence gives away the game to even fence sitters.

Everything indeed looks funny but their website has pics of Ishrat Jahan projecting her like a martyr. This is like glorifying a terrorist. They stand is Anti-India. Half information is not truth. They missed to add points like why she was traveling with terrorist and Pakistani folks, David Headley's acceptance etc. Infact, SC should see nobody except court must now declare their judgements.

Secondly, the act of Pheku.in website is nothing but a glorifying themselves as losers. Infact, restoring to cheap activities themselves, taking things too personal and I can now fairly assume these people can fall to any level, so when someone honors them with ch***a, it's what they deserve.

Main-stream-media and these Hashmis are surely making an ass of themselves.However, it must be noted that the demand for congress-mukt-bharat did not have any effect in Mandya and Bangalore-Rural. Congress won by a big margin there.I do believe there is not going to be ONE election in 2014. There are going to be 500+ different elections, one each for each seat. To win at center, there has to be unique effort in each seat. Effective alliances are absolutely critical.

Nice article. But ( as many have suggested before ), this needs to get wider publicity. We do our bit by sharing this website link with others , but given the free publicity that sites like pheku get, it is important that mediacrooks articles get read by all voting Indians who are on social media. Otherwise the last laugh would be on us, as congress romps to another term ( directly or by propping up a third front) as the recent bypoll results once again prove that democracy will be a failure in a predominantly mediocre nation.Challenges like biased mainstream media, such defamatory websites need to be challenged more firmly thru legal action, comprehensive rebuttals, judicial restraint on a certain set of people from spreading lies, fallacies.

Despite your well-intentioned comment about how many suggest this should get wider publicity, I find that most people who suggest this fail to see an important point.

I write out of passion and not for publicity. Any publicity that comes is welcome but I promote it only on SM.

You talk about Pheku getting publicity. It is the same publicity that fools get. Besides, such sites are backed by enormous funding from political powers to get them backed by filmstars and publicity in newspapers. You and others would do well to appreciate the fact that this site is not funded by anyone which is why it writes freely and bluntly.

To all who express similar sentiments my advice is, do your bit to spread the word. Dont worry about how many havent read. You educate 10 people that is good enough. Dont worry about the whole world. I too could have ignored all the silly issues because I can see through their lies. Thats an easier choice to make. Stop worrying about those who wish to remain ignorant. Those who seek the truth will invariably find their way. You too didnt get here when the first post was written.

I think the lack of killer instinct is our problem. We are not go getters.The crookes are just the opposite.When Kargil intrusion happened, our armymen took them on but were told not to cross the LOC. Hence while contfronting those who crossed the LOC and cozied above the hill our casuality was high.Who were we trying to impress.?In every chapter of our history we see nationalists lack the drive to achieve.How long are we goint to wait for truth to trimph.?BJP does not raise the issue of Vadra, Vajpayee helped pappu off the hook in a US airport with illegal money. The list is long and counting.

I am aware that this is your individual initiative and you are not funded by anyone and neither perhaps you have any deep political affiliations. Neither was I expecting that this ( increasing the reach/coverage of these articles ) need to be done by you. This site gets numerous visits , anyone with deep pockets ( or maybe even BJP media wing as well ) and who reads these comments and can support the initiative can do that by getting in touch with you ( unless you prefer it remains as it is , which again is your prerogative )I am not aware of any other site ( which may be my ignorance ) which picks up the lies and hypocrisy of our mainstream media on such a regular basis . and so was just hoping that this gets read by as many as possible so that the can form more objective opinions - as many are mostly under the spell and reach of Mainstream Media. whilst you may just be writing out of passion/interest, the readers of these sites do have varied perspectives . My perspective was in seeing how best to use all this data ,information in achieving one immediate goal of 'congress mukt bharat' . that's all. Time is ticking by . and so far I feel that the power of 'manipulation' , 'rigging' , 'corruption' , 'lies', 'fallacies'is winning.

I see your point. It is the duty of readers like you and me to spread the message Ravi creates in his hard hitting, fact-based articles. He is doing yeoman service to the cause which is dear to all of us. Let us chip in and do our bit.

The central point is that fakes of all kinds, including pseudo secular liberals like Hashmi must be crushed into the ground.

I fully support your view point. You are successful in generating awareness about false propaganda by MSM. This should continue. It is better you do not exceed the mandate. I do not have a better term :-)Some readers here feel you are biased towards BJP. I feel it is not bias but a necessary prop as the MSM's lies are mostly against BJP and Hinduism.

I am confident that you will continue if MSM supports BJP the way they are helping congress.

For quite some time I have been amazed by some people on SM especially some of MC’s friends who have this absolutely god given talent of a watchdog with super sensitive noses. They can smell, identify and catch bullshit by recovering deleted pages / tweets, attribute quotes (MISQUOTES), Identify fake / photo shopped photos, storify events so on and so on and so on. Anyway I am convinced that this army can probably do anything.

Like I have said before, Ravi is like an elephant that does not know his own strength, add these friends to him and his information source you have a combination for Ramnet Rajya. Trust me I don’t say this lightly or communally, for only if you realize the magnitude of their service, will you comprehend the quantity of manure being sold by the MSM and activists (wonder why we don’t have organic farming on a large scale.)

Well, like so many of us I don’t have the capability or the talent to fact check everything these manure salesmen say and hence depend on MC his ilk, and their talented network. For me “if they say it must be so.” I hope they realize the responsibility on their shoulders and to do this voluntarily, I can only say thank you.

Earlier they could control the information flow, but now social media has taken away that power from them. MSM does offer that avenue to them though. This is democratization of information flow in the country.

She is the one who was carrying out her activities from official residence of a Member, Planning Commission and she talks of propriety. We all have seen how they are funded and what are there links. Naxal's love of Harsh Mander is coolly swept under the carpet though Modi had indirectly raised it once.

I came across your blog only recently (by accident). I congratulate you for following your passion in exposing such 'neti-frauds'. I am not very active in social media nor do I watch English MSM (I am learning the lingo) as it leads increasing my BP. I would not have visited these sites like 'pheku.in' even if someone recommended it to me, as my immediate instinct would have been to avoid it as it would be full of lies anyway. I am aware that Modi haters can go to any extent to distort the truth, but it never fails to amaze me each time they are exposed!. I still cannot fathom how these frauds cannot be shamed on being exposed like this. I would imagine it is because their pay-masters demand it. Renu

Good "expose" Ravi.But for how you will continue as the watch dog? Also what I see is the list of people who are neither Gujaratis nor do they stay in Gujarat.Yet they want to to project Gujarat as living hell with those cut and paste jobs.They are yet to learn their lessons.They have been at it since 2002.Instead of downing Modi,now Modi has emerged as potential PM.So more you denigrate him,more popular he gets.But where is BJP's legal cell? It should try and seek legal actions against such purveyors of lies.

I am certain that a hundred years from now, when several great great grand-children later, Indian kids will read history, this current period that India has lived, ie. 1947 to 2014, will be regarded as India's dark period, a continuation of the Raj. Hopefully in that world, history will be written with facts and hopefully 2014 will being about the NaMo era that would save this country from turning into the next Pakistan.

The Agenda of pheku.in is clear, and they don't even want a rebuttal of those false/inaccurate webpages.I tried commenting twice yesterday, and my comment wasn't even offensive, It just consist of the link to TOI Clarification about the rambo act. But, they don't publish my comment, just because it violates there propaganda. This a clear attempt to malign Modi, and nothing else.

I think the people who have business, traders, the upper middle class, and upto an extent even the lower middle class has become irrelevant for voting. I have nothing against minorities but it it their vote which counts and all our policies, politics and the media is for their appeasement. I have come to a conclusion that the best thing to do is leave this country because I dont see a future here for me or my children.

Pheku.in is a renewed efforts by the Leftist/Communist Forces and their Christian Missionary/Islamist allies to defame Narendra Modi. A Registration Search for the website on WhoIs.net brings up the name of Raja Swamy, an individual based in Austin, Texas, USA. Swamy is a member of the Forum of Inqualabi Leftists (FOIL) as well as the Campaign to Stop Funding Hate (CSFH), both of which are well known Leftist/Communist organizations in the USA and have links to the likes of Shabnam Hashmi, Teesta Setalvad, Ram Puniyani, Cedric Prakash and many others. In fact, many of the folks listed on Pheku.in are indeed part of the FOIL, CSFH, FOSA (Friends of South Asia) and a whole hosts of Hindu/India haters.

Did you notice the emotional nautanki of Congress party ?? Sonia Maino aka Mother India gets sick on the same day when Vote Security Bill is passed in parliament! The Media Slaves gear into full action to weep "Oh that poor lady become ill while ensuring that the poor of this country are feed properly" !!! Jai Ho Ho Ho

I assign 4 LS seats to Modi led NDA against each Rupee of the USDollar valuation. At a stable 53 to a dollar, Modi had chance of securing 53x4 = 212 seats for the NDA in the next LS elections. At 68 now, Modi led NDA has clearly touched the magic figure of 272. My view is that with the continued mismanagement of the economy by Chidu, MMS & SG for the next 6-8 months, UPA govt will hand over the power to the next govt at 75 a dolllar, and that clearly gives Modi a total seat of 300!!!

It is unfortunate to see Indian media resorting to Western media tactics of using wrong images to further their propaganda. Extremely happy to note that the lie has been exposed. Keep up the excellent work! Let truth prevail.

Dear Raviji the excellent Job you are doing by Exposing these Crooks is suppose to be done by the Main Stream Media to Expose the Governments Wrong Policies which have Ruined the Economy and Corruption of the Government Ministers and their Family Members. Like in Democracy Our PAID MEDIA CAN QUESTION EVEN THE SUPREME COURT RULINGS BUT ON OTHER SIDE SAME MEDIA CAN NOT OR COME OUT WITH CLEAN CHIT OF THEIR MASTERS/ PSEUDO SECULARS BE IT ASSAM CHIEF MINISTER OR U.P CHIEF MINISTER WHERE RIOTS TOOK PLACE. AND TO JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THIS FSB WILL ALSO BE ONLY A CONGRESS/ PSEUDO SECULAR SECURITY BILL POOR PEOPLE ONLY WILL BE GETTING A LAW NOT ACTUALLY FOOD NOT ATLEAST IN CONGRESS RULE STATE GOING BY THE PREVIOUS OR LET'S SAY IN DIGVIJAY'S LOGIC THERE WILL BE HUGE CORRUPTION THROUGH THIS LAW AS MNREGA AND OTHER SCAMS SURFACED DURING THE UPA REGIME.

Why these people want to spill mud on Modi when they very well know that they are getting their hands dirty in due course while, Modi on other hand turns out be winner admist UPA's flawed attacks on him.

Ravi,I have been following and reading your blogs for quite a long time. Every time I read a new blog it becomes tougher for me to control and remain decent in the open forum. The first thought pops up in my mind is strong and abusive slang to be used for our Under Performing A** group. It has become so important for all of us to make even a single vote count by any means and any hardship we face. I dont want my country to be sold to China and Pakistan in due course, Hence determinant to throw them away out of power. Would request each one to throw UPA out by making each vote count.Jay Hind.

If any of you knew Shabnam ji personally on the ground you will think 100 times before speaking ill of her. I have seen her work in Gujarat tirelessly with her life being thretened by goons of govt. She has worked for earthquake victim in Kashmir.She has seen people suffer in Gujarat, spent endless time in relief camps and therefore she knows how Modi is a danger to IndiaIN Peace
